Kurt Busch claimed the 34th and final victory of his NASCAR Cup Series career in the first Gen 7 race at the 1.5-mile track in 2022. Later that year, Bubba Wallace won the Playoff event at Kansas as a non-Playoff driver.
The Bubba Wallace who takes the green flag in the Sunday’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway won’t be the same Bubba Wallace who eked out a Playoff berth two years ago.
How do we know? Wallace says so.
SPEEDWAY, Ind.—Mother Nature wasn’t going to deprive Bubba Wallace of the most important win of his career, not on this Sunday afternoon.
Unsure of the amount of fuel left in his No. 23 Toyota, Wallace survived a rain shower and two overtime restarts at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to win the Brickyard 400 presented by PPG in two overtimes he punched his ticket to the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
